But in 2012, after jumping in and …

KRS ONE is a great rapper who really taught young people what hip hop is all about. He taught us that it’s not all about money or how hardcore you are. It’s about expressing yourself and helping make the world a better place through music. I think that he had …

I wasn’t too familiar with Tinie Tempah before I saw his album advertised on the telly and often that is when you realise how many of his songs that you already knew. One stood out for me, this was Written In The Stars. I had heard it on the …

Overview - Coda, Led Zeppelin’s final studio record, is a collection of previously recorded tracks sometime in Zeppelin’s career that were never released on an album. Unfortunately I have to say right now, it isn’t too difficult to see why some of these songs never made it to the …

Unsolved Mysteries is a song by Animal Collective and is the second song on their record Strawberry Jam. Right from the beginning of the track, Unsolved Mysteries is incredibly more interesting musically than the track to precede it, Peacebone. For those of you who were disappointed that Peacebone focused …

I have been a fan of Anberlin since they formed many years ago, and I have been looking forward to their third album since they announced it would be released.
Cities is Anberlin’s third, and by far their most mature, album. For those that have followed them from their …

I had a chance to listen to the new Jay-Z album which is the Blueprint 3, and it is one of my most favorite music albums of the year. This is Jay-Z’s 10th album and even at almost 40 years old, he is still one of the best rap …

David Allan Coe sings the song If That Ain’t Country. It’s an odd song at best that remind me of how people believe in stereo types. David Allen Coe has always been a good singer but I was shocked the first time I saw a video with him in …

I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …

I am so in love with hit single The Man Who Can’t Be Moved by The Script. Just some information about this song and the band, before I pore out my heart. I am not in love or anything, all it is, is I am in love …

One could find many reasons to criticize this album, probably, but I personally do like it though. I first got acquainted with KMFDM by their post-millennial albums, and then I got to listen to this, which could be considered its first true complete album, even though there were two …

R. Kelly
“Gotham City (Remix)”
“Batman & Robin” Soundtrack
Director: Hype Williams
First there was Prince, then there was R. Kelly, the second worst thing to happen to a ‘Batman’ film soundtrack in the history of the entire ‘Batman’ franchise. Well, it looks like the “I Believe I Can Fly” trick didn’t work …

Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album was given to me by a friend. I was actually surprised when she first told me over phone that she would give me this Kris’ album because I know this girl could not sing. She maybe a very good host and indeed an …

I’m So Tired is a track by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Unlike the rest of the album, I’m So Tired is actually a very laid-back track, and as the name would imply, it has a very sleepy feel and tone to …

Few years ago, I was new at work, I share classroom with my co-teacher who handles the deaf preschool class. In between classes, we have long breaks ( because we taught in a special school, classes are sometimes irregularly scheduled) and he would over and over listen to MY …

I recently purchased something awesome from the Marshall line of Amplifiers. What I bought was the Marshall JVM 210H head and I just love the tone out of this amp. The head came with a channel board that came with 6 foot switchable presets you can get out of …

Paranoid is a cover by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. Hopefully if you’re a fan of metal then you’ll know that the original version of this song is by Black Sabbath and that you’ve heard the track before. If not, then I’d highly recommend first listening …

Bob is a myth. He is the god of his gender. In addition to having an impeccable, personal, unique and elegant style, he was the first to do what he does, the first and only who does so as to do with arrogance and elegance but without the typical …

Overview —“ No Leaf Clover, one of the two new Metallica songs written for the project in collaboration with The San Francisco Symphony, S&M, is sort of a clever play on words with a four leaf clover. Whereas a four leaf clover is generally associated with good luck, Hetfield …

By 2002, it seemed as if the sound of a lot of the mainstream rock music that I was used to listening to had begun to change. A lot of bands I would hear playing on the radio no longer had that distinctive post-grunge sound and more people were beginning …

Whatever you like by T.I. is a song that seems like a fantasy to me. What guy would actually give a girl whatever she likes even if he was rich. There are some but not many. The music video for this song is a little weird because it starts …

Heart Of Mine is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. The song starts off with a piano part which then leads into Dylan singing some lyrics before the rest of the instrumentation soon comes in. The lyrics focus on Dylan, or the …

I, like others I’m sure, mostly bought this CD for its title track, “Viva La Vida”, which remains the strongest song on the album. However, that being said, Coldplay has put together a collection of some rather meaningful and haunting songs, separating this album from their previous releases.
The first …

Bought this guitar during a sale, at first it was just for the looks but it was just more than that after I tested it when I got back home.

After The Cranberries disbanded in 2002 the bandmembers went back to being with their families, and it took a while until some of them showed any sign of life. Dolores O’Riordan kept a low-profile for several years, she appeared here and there, did some collaborations until she decided to …

Touch Me is a track which appears on The Soft Parade, an album by The Doors. Aside form the brilliant introduction to the song, I think something which a listener will notice right away is the instrumentation of this track. Touch Me features instruments which are certainly outside the …

This song says it all when it comes to how guys act when they decide they want an excuse to do something they shouldn’t be doing. They will find ways to treat their woman like junk and tell her she isn’t good at anything. This woman isn’t going to …

Once again Lady Gaga gives us another amazing single. I love Alejandro with its throwback to past hits ranging from ABBA’s “Fernando” to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. I have a hard time getting this song out of my head every time I hear it which is a …

Annie’s Song is one of John Denver’s famous love ballad’s but it is unique in that he does it in English and Spanish. It sounds so sweet that it can put you in a trans where you can forget your everyday worries or problems. It can mesmerize you with …

The new work from American trash metal band Megadeth has hit the stores with a bang. The album features a new addition to the line up in the guitarist Chris Broderick, and the sound they produced is amazing. I’ve listened to the album several times now, and can say …

I first heard this song in a club in March. I had never heard of Santogold but was struck by how this thumping electro-synth track was being played - and being very well received, too, I might add in a club that is almost exclusively the domain …
